Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups hot water
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
Stir in the hot water carefully. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or glazing.
Optionally, top the cooled cupcakes with a chocolate glaze, ganache, or frosting of your choice, and sprinkle with extra chocolate chips for garnish.
